ASTM F854-1983(2003) Standard Test Method for Cleanliness of Carbon Paper《复写纸清洁度的标准试验方法》.pdf

1、Designation: F 854 83 (Reapproved 2003)Standard Test Method forCleanliness of Carbon Paper1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 854; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A numb

2、er in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method describes a typewriter test that com-pares the cleanliness properties of carbon papers (one-time ormultiple use) and is b

3、ased on resistance to feed roll marking thesmear of carbon images.1.2 This test method also describes how to compare thecleanliness properties of the backs of carbon papers.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibili

4、ty of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Summary of Test Method4.1 The comparative typewriter test involves using thecarbon papers in a prescribed set of forms and observing theresults.4.2

7、 The cleanliness of the backs of carbon papers involvesrubbing them with clean sheets of bond-type papers andobserving and comparing the amount of ink transfer.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method can be used in new applicationsevaluations, product development, and specification accep-tance p

Donot use the top or bottom sheet from any stock of carbon paperas a sample.9. Procedure9.1 Typewriter Test:9.1.1 Assemble a

10、 five-part form using papers measuring8.50 by 11.00 in. (215.9 by 279.4 mm). Use a 15-lb (17 by22-in.; 500 sheets) (56.4 g/m2) as the top part. Below the toppart, use four parts of 12-lb (17 by 22-in.; 500 sheets) (45.1g/m2). Staple the left and right corners approximately12in.from the top.9.1.2 Int

11、erleave four sheets of the test carbons measuring8.5 by 11.00 in. (215.9 by 279.4 mm) into the five-part form sothat the carbon papers extend below the bottom of the set by12in.NOTE 1Always handle form and carbon paper at the edge with care toavoid unintentional coating transfer.1This test method is

Interpretation of Results

19、10.1 Feed Roll Cleanliness:10.1.1 Examine and compare the first carbon copy, sheetnumber 2 from all carbon sheet test forms from 9.1.9. Rate forintensity of the roll marks. Assign a value of 5 for least intenseroll marks and 1 for most intense roll marks.10.1.2 Examine and compare the bottom edges o

20、f carbonimages for degree of tailing. Assign a value of 5 for no tailingand 1 for most tailing.10.2 Back Cleanliness:10.2.1 Examine and compare the bond papers for eachcarbon sheet from 9.2.4 for ink accumulation. Assign a value of5 for the least amount of ink accumulation and 1 for the mostink accu
